2. Project Results 1/8/2015 MAPS 2

3. Project Results: Pilot Testing Assembled & Distributed 1000 packets in 12 MN organizations Developed evaluation survey 1/8/2015 MAPS 3

4. Project Results: Pilot Testing The Challenge Too overwhelmed – lots of other “opportunities” Need IRB approval, HIPAA, etc. – evaluation survey, we added our own barrier “We already do patient education” … 70 page discharge instructions… “Need to drive traffic to our own website/EMR” – Meaningful Use This could take a lot of time if patients really ask for ______ (medication lists, test results, warning signs…) 1/8/2015 MAPS 4

5. Project Results: Pilot Testing Positive Feedback Loved the red folders Survey was a little long Patients enjoy the information. Group setting is ideal for explaining everything. Could have used a pre-printed document for people to fill in their meds There was too much time from hospital discharge to point at which they received red folders Patients overwhelmed with paperwork at discharge Consumers thought folders were a good idea -clients have hard time keeping track of all their papers Some patients did bring their folders back for their follow-up visits Noted an increase in patient satisfaction scores during this timeframe. 1/8/2015 MAPS 5

6. Project Results: Survey 25 question survey, intended to be electronic Due to pilot site concerns, used paper surveys for most Questions asked about materials, whether patients did the “to dos”, if they would be likely to do so after receiving the materials Also asked about “discharge” process 1/8/2015 MAPS 6

8. Project Results: Public Awareness Campaign Website visits clearly spiked when ads were running Ads generated awareness of “To Dos” 75% of visits were new More Females (59%) than males (41%) Web visits decreased to nearly zero when ads not running According to Pew research, older, less affluent and those with significant health challenges largely disconnected from digital tools 1/8/2015 MAPS 8

9. Impact of Ads On Website Sessions MPR, WCCO-AM, Good Age magazine, Star Tribune, Pioneer Press Ads begin 9-15-14 WCCO-AM Radio ads Ads end 12-31-14 No ads, clinic outreach only No ads

10. Next Steps Some additional printed toolkits available – How do we put those to best use? Electronic versions of all available @ no cost MAPS Patient/Provider relationships & transitions strategic focus 1/8/201510 MAPS
